Re: [VFB] Lightning bug patterm

[Tom Davenport]

Steve's Link below is the closest to the Lightning Bug pattern also  
featured in the book "Trout Flies of the West" by Jim Schollmeyer and  
Ted Leeson.  It's a pretty good book, compiled by getting various fly  
shops in the west to cough up their shop/guide flies.   It lists the  
originator as Larry Graham. from Creekside Angling Company, Issaquah,  
Washington.  Larry says (in the book) "this is my best bead-head nymph.  
 I have fished it throughout the west with very good luck. I'm not  
certain what the fish take it for: all Iknow is that it really works"

I tied up a few and they were the only thing that would catch fish for  
me on one particular trip to Henry's Fork.  But I don't use them often,  
mainly because I've lost those and haven't replaced them.

You can use day-glo chenille for the tail, or Kreinik has glo in the  
dark thread that works well too.
